Applications
Autonomous generators form a crucial part of the safety and workings of the platform. They provide continuous, or peak load on-board unmanned and decommissioned platforms. Load requirements for these installations are normally low and the use of the diesel generator is very costly due to short maintenance intervals and regular refuelling. All of which requires crew to fly out to platforms regularly.
The EnergyPod is a highly versatile energy solution. It can be adapted to meet the specific needs of the client and can be utilised in any environmental condition in off-grid locations.
The EnergyPod is benefitted with an extremely compact design. During transit, all of the components can be safely fitted inside the container, which makes the product easy to transport. Due to its mobility, its rapid (dis)assembly time, and its durability, the EnergyPod can be used on multiple installations during its life time.
For the offshore market the following industries would benefit from the use of the EnergyPod:
Offshore E&P Operators
Providing continuous or peak load for all vital systems on-board autonomous/unmanned wellhead topsides, or platforms that are cold stacked or on standby or subjected to decommissioning.
DC continuous load applications
- Corrosion inhibitor pump motors
- PLC SCADA system
- HMI panel view
- Permanent downhole gauges
- Sand monitoring (detectors)
- Telephone & sounder
- Multiphase flow meter
- Navigational aids loads
- Flashing beacons
- Sirens
AC continuous/peak load applications
- Small electro-hydraulic cranes for unmanned platforms
- Lighting – main/mezzanine/cellar deck
- Lighting – boat landing
- Lighting – E & I room
- Lighting – wellhead control panel
- Lighting – life raft
- Small power receptacles – cellar deck

Salvage companies focussing on Decommissioning
Providing continuous or peak load for all vital systems during the safe-making and disassembly of the topside.
DC continuous load applications
- Corrosion inhibitor pump motors
- PLC SCADA system
- HMI panel view
- Telephone & sounder
- SCADA radio
- Navigational aids loads
- Flashing beacons
- Sirens
AC continuous/peak load applications

Offshore Construction Companies
The EnergyPod could be implemented in the design and construction phase of new topsides. This will give the operator the opportunity to obtain a topside powered by renewable technology.
Offshore Wind Farms
Supporting the wind tower with auxiliary power and to support corrosion inhibitor pumps during and after installation of the wind tower foundations.
OTHER OFFSHORE/NEARSHORE LOCALITIES
- Providing continuous power for coastal lighthouses
- Offshore research and weather stations
- Offshore military bases
